Call for orchestral pieces to be included in Resonate database

Thursday, August 26, 2021

PRS Foundation and the Association of British Orchestras have announced a call for orchestral pieces for inclusion in the Resonate database.

Resonate is a partnership between PRS Foundation, the Association of British Orchestras (ABO) and BBC Radio 3, which champions outstanding pieces of British orchestral music from the past 25 years and aims to inspire more performances, recordings and broadcasts of outstanding contemporary repertoire, as chosen by UK orchestras.

The database has been created to demonstrate the scope and quality of new music already commissioned by UK orchestras and to encourage orchestras to revisit pieces which would strengthen their programming of contemporary repertoire.

The ultimate goal of Resonate is to establish a recognised body of works and increase players’ and audiences’ familiarity with the music of the UK’s contemporary composers.
